Why does Amazon refuse to sell or ship me knives? There are many knives that I can't find elsewhere and many more that Amazon has better prices for. What I get is a message on the right where you would add it to your cart that says "Sorry, this item cannot be shipped to your selected address due to local laws or Amazon policy. Please change the shipping address. Learn more"
I know Amazon would probably be the one to answer the question, but I've been unable to find a satisfactory explanation beyond the above message. It implies that it is based on some law in my location. I live in New York state, in the County of Niagara, not some NYC borough. Knife laws here aren't particularly onerous, certainly no more than many other places. I can buy (and have shipped) many knives from WalMart, for example. I have had certain sellers that only ship UPS due to USPS restrictions, even though I have received hundreds of knives sent to me through the Post Office.
I'm just wondering if anyone here has ever heard of this? I don't know where else to ask...
